My suggestion would be to rewrite your code from the ground up. i.e., rewrite the
C and C++ logic (not a straight transformation of the code - it should be
re-architected) into Java. One of the worst things that you can do is to plug C
into C++ syntax or to take C++ into Java syntax without a re-design.
I know that this might be a pain in the whatever, but it would be well worth it the
effort in the long run. Along with this, redesign the project so that you properly
"fit" the rule engine into your design. One of the biggest headaches that I
experience is projects where the architecture is done and THEN they (the brilliant
architects) decide that they would like to do something really cool, like use a
rulebase. The project must (well, should) be rule-centric from the beginning.
However, if the tools are C and C++ and you can NOT rewrite them, I would suggest
using an ORB manager, or CORBA. Voyager is free and does CORBA stuff. CORBA can
interface to C, C++, COBOL, Ada and other languages as well as Java. But you would
have to learn CORBA. There are several good books on the subject. Here are a
couple that I've found helpful:
Client/Server Programming with Java and CORBA
Robert Orfali and Dan Harkey
(An easy read but Java-centric)
Java Programming with CORBA
Andreas Vogel and Keith Duddy
( More technical but still Java-Centric)
Inside CORBA
Thomas J. Mowbray and William A. Ruh
(Booch - Jacobson - Rumbaugh series of books)
The Essential CORBA
Thomas J. Mowbray and Ron Zahavi
(From the OMG series - published in '95 but still a good reference)
CORBA Fundamentals and Programming
Jon Siegel
(Jon is one of the founders of OMG - book has some good C / C++ / Smalltalk
examples)
